The curvature of the spokes. Face 1, IIRC, has more brake clearance and better offsets for FDs than Face 2.

it seems from Rays website that the GTC face 1 and 2 are the same wheels but offer different offsets in each. That is they have "offset" A, B, C where offset "A" is for big brake kits.

italy, the fitment has been detailed to death. Rishie (autoRnD) just posted a nice fitment guide as well as jimlabs fitment excel spreadsheet.

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showthread.php?t=543260

for the GTC face 1
18x9 +43 or +50 in Offset "B" would work. I wouldn't use the offset "C" as it would be too close to your brake caliper but they have 18x9 +47 offset "C"
If you need big brake clearance then the only one they have is 18x9 +42 offset "A"

for the rear. 18x10+43 and +50 offset "B" should be ok though the 43 can be close. They have +47 offset "C" which will probably be fine as our rear calipers are low.

for the GTC face 2

18x9 +42 offset "A" +43 offset "B" would work
18x10 +44 offset "C" would probably be OK in the rear.

You can call Rays and they will double check the fitment, though they usually go way to aggressive for my comfort level. If you lived in the states or if Rishie could ship international you might want to contact him (autornd) as he can give you the perfect fitment that you want.

Otherwise you have to run the numbers and ask Rays about clearance between the different "offsets" for the brakes.

Good luck!

Oh, about the two GTC face 1 and 2...they appear to be exactly the same cosmetically....but I'm not absolutely sure.
